  • That's what I thought. Why spend all that money on already prepared fiber just to get it all misaligned by carding it, much less carding it improperly.

  • I am teaching the children in my class about natural vs synthetic materials, and i am going to show them this video of how wool is spun in to what we see today! Thank you so much!

  • you might also want to look up some carding techniques on here as well, not to use for the roving, but to make into rolags...you want it to be much more of a rocking motion and not raking the cards across each other. It will do some real damage to the carders.

  • Oh, and that looks like an Ashford spinning wheel. A very nice all-around wheel.

  • Those are wool cards for preparing wool. It looks like the wool is already in a very nice preparation called roving, though, so I'm not sure why the wool is being carded. Roving is usually lovely to spin from directly.

  • awesome what are those raking tools called and what is the spinning wheel called?
